The room itself was pretty clean and nice. You could tell that the doors dont often get wiped down, they were pretty smudged where they have been touched a lot. It was nice having the kitchenette in our room. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was just ok, we both woke up sore. The bathroom door lock was broken, so we couldn't lock the door. Probably the worst part was the breakfast. Do not plan to eat there. Maybe the worst hotel breakfast we have ever had. Overall nothing was a deal breaker and would stay at again if we ever needed to, but there's always room for improvement.

We traveled to this hotel together with our softball team. Having a nice pool is a perk. The gas barbecue grills were also a bonus as we enjoy dinner together one evening. There was a nice area inside to sit and relax and outside as well. The beds were comfortable which is what is of the utmost importance. The only complaint I had was the breakfast was mediocre, at best. They could definitely work on quality of the meats and eggs. They were like hockey pucks.

I've stayed at this hotel multiple times when I'm in Des Moines. It is close to Drake and to downtown, and I love having a simple suite, with a small kitchen and a sofa in my room. The light in the rooms is very good-- especially important for some one older like me with reduced vision who likes to read in bed. The outdoor parking is free. I've always been greeted with friendliness by the staff. All of this for quite a reasonable price, with a modest breakfast thrown in!

The 1 bedroom suite with a separate pull out sofa, was not as advertised! The bed and the sofa was separated by a curtain! Very disappointing! The room was clean and the breakfast was good.
Hotel needs to bed updated a little, mainly the bathroom, but not bad at all! Only two hotel employees were friendly and helpful, and that was the young lady during check-in. The other friendly and helpful employees was the young lady during check-out.

Wonderful experience at breakfast where staff overheard me taking about how I was bummed there wasn’t the chicken strips I looked forward to. She made me some just because I had mentioned this!

Great location close to many Des Moines attractions. The breakfast was good with many choices.

We stayed in room 225. Our room smelt like stale cigarette smoke. We noticed our smoke detector had been removed.

Not the best experience… breakfast was good however.

Great proximity & location to Drake University. Our room was spacious and well equipped, kitchenette space has all you need including a dishwasher, which we didn't use but rare to see. Beds & pillows very excellent, our family of 5 slept great. Breakfast was very good. Pool is small, but very clean and lots of clean towels in the pool area were appreciated. Two treadmills in the gym, but one was broken and not working, which was a bummer. Overall an excellent single night stay for our family, would recomend and stay here again.

Added bonus with a warm breakfast the following morning , coffee and juice all included . I also noticed a pool and gym but didn’t get a chance to use but there were families enjoying those amenities and it’s great to be able to park your vehicle on site ! A quick but perfect stay.

The location is perfect. Walking distance from all things Drake. A quick stroll across campus and you're at the stadium or arena. Plenty of great restaurants are also just a short walk down University Ave. The hotel is new and clean. The rooms are comfortable. The kitchenette and couch were great. Checkin was fast and efficient. We were staying during state track so we can't give the breakfast a fair review. The track teams made short work of the buffet. The staff made a valiant effort of staying ahead of the demand. We will stay here again.

The young man working the overnight front desk should be running his own hotel one day! I’m rarely impressed with professional acumen, kindness, and sincere effort to go above and beyond. I literally watched this young man treat a dozen or more people checking in with such professionalism that I was astonished. The rooms are extremely big, super clean and they have an indoor pool, I however, it was freezing cold.. the breakfast exceeded expectations. I think it’s a wonderful hotel at a perfect location and definitely a competitive price. If I ever roll through Des Moines again, I will stay at this property.

Overall, this is a great hotel. We stayed here because of the free parking and the room having a full-size fridge.

There is free, off-street parking, the area feels pretty safe, and there is a huge breakfast setup with oatmeal, breads, waffles, eggs, bacon, cheese... it's a true breakfast and not the sad continental breakfast you get at most places.

The two things that could be improved is that where they keep the luggage carts block the intercom and key swipe for after-hours entry, which can be a problem if you have limited mobility and are unable to move the carts or if you are juggling items and don't have hands free. Not a huge deal, but something that could be improved upon.

Also, they use the terrible polyester sheets on the bed, which are like sleeping in a trash bag. It means that we had to crank up the A/C to just be cool enough to sleep. I get that they are supposedly less maintenance, but they are terribly uncomfortable.

The hotel is across the street from the south side of the beautiful Drake University so only a 3 block walk to the football/track stadium. The hotel is now about 5 years old. Everything is nice BUT if you want to wash your hands in the bathroom sink, well good luck! The spout is set sooo far back on the countertop, and the faucet spout is sooo short the water barely runs into the sink. There's noooo room to get your fingers behind the water to wash them. It's the same in EVERY room. OTHERS have reviewed the same, so that tells me that corporate doesn't give a dam!!! Just keep taking our money and don't give or fix anything. There are 2 simple fixes but after 5 years, you know the rest of the story. Just another \"do nothing\" company.
